Blindness Advocates on Why There Should Be Audio Description Oscars

• Paul Castle and Jaimee Kadish, both legally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa, are leading the charge for Oscars to recognize audio description - a crucial accessibility tool that narrates onscreen action for the visually impaired.
• With only 40% of films offering audio description, the advocates argue the lack of recognition perpetuates barriers for the visually impaired community, who make up over 285 million people worldwide.
